Wayne is an agent for Sarah, a professional hockey player. For two seasons, he has helped Sarah negotiate her contract with the Saskatoon Hilltops Hockey Team. He has never signed her contract. Sarah always signed her contract herself and usually she participates in the negotiations. This year, after a hard negotiating session that Sarah did not attend, he signed a contract on her behalf. The contract is binding because as an agent, Wayne has the power to act on behalf of Sarah, his principal.
